Why Wreck-It Ralph is an Impeccably Perfect Movie

[@TobyNo1Awesomeness]

There is one thing you missed. When Ralph meets King Candy for the first time, he says "Milk my duds! It's Wreck-It Ralph?!" Because only he knows Ralph and the racers don't, this is because Ralph and Turbo were technically neighbours once upon a time, hinting at the truth that he is Turbo!

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

You know, I could have sworn I wrote that down ,I know for sure that I noticed it when watching the movie, guess there is just so many great details in this film that one or two was bound to slip past me when writing everything down.

[@v4mpyLuvr0001]

i also noticed this and its a really small detail, he also says “you’re not going turbo are you?” if you notice when he turns into turbo in the kart infront of Vanellope she has no clue who he is, that also hints to the fact hes turbo, but you still have no idea on first watch

The sequel was a disaster. Some movies just don't deserve a sequel, like Space Chimps for example. Wreck it Ralph however had potential to be a Shrek 2 level of sequel, you would think that since the first movie was about arcade games, the sequel should've focused on modern gaming since online gaming is a trend nowadays but they had to make an emoji movie with Wreck it Ralph in it. They also ruined both Ralph and Vanellopee's character.

[@prototypelq8574]

Personally, I don't think so at all. Sequel is the natural continuation of the themes in the first film. Perhaps, my view is not common because I saw the movie right after my first month at the university, and I had to part ways with my best friend, who was also my classmate. With Vanelope's talent for racing, it was only a matter of time when she became bored of the standard tracks her game had, and would seek new challenges for herself. Another matter is that the first movie gave Raph a friend, they never once touched on the subject of clinginess, personal space and interests, or keeping your friendships after distancing from one another. Raph has never been in a situation when his friends's personal goals create distance between them, and he never had an opportunity to work through that. Coupled with his anger issues, I think it's natural he's been confused and too clingy to realise his overstepping of boundaries.

[@AverageEggmonEnthusiast]

I like how this movie pitches acceptance but not complacency. It’s never once suggested that Venelope or Ralph should have just accepted their poor treatment at the beginning of the movie but instead to learn their own value.

[@ClaudetteVioletta]

And as a bonus, they got a better treatment, and new friends

[@pdruiz2005]

But to learn their own value, they have to threaten to destroy the value of others. Ralph leaves the game and only when he's totally absent does he undermine the value of the Nicelanders. Only THEN do the Nicelanders and Felix treat him like an equal, which is messed up if you think about it. Venelope's value is only brought to her attention when a character from another game threatens his own game and Sugar Rush (he brought the bugs over). So, yeah, the message seems to be muddled here. You don't need to threaten to destroy things to realize your own value.

[@jonahulichny9874]

@@pdruiz2005 isn’t Ralph presented in the wrong for leaving the nicelanders?

[@22Tesla]

I think "acceptance beyond the surface level" is closer to the point. Because that is all Ralph and Vanellope are accepted as: at their surface level. Ralph is the antagonist for his game, and Vanellope seems to not have a place but is a mistake someone forgot to remove so they get treated by the denizens of their games as such. The Nicelanders see Ralph as just a bad guy, and thus treat him as if that's all he is. The other Sugar Racers see Vanellope as something that shouldn't exist so they treat her as if she is nothing and attempt to keep her from stepping out of line. It's this devaluation of themselves that sparks these two to rebel against the system: Ralph tries to be a hero so he'll be seen as one, Vanellope tries to race to prove she's not a mistake. In the end, they find their own value within each other, and also prove their value to others: Ralph is part of the game that gives it a reason to exist, and Vanellope was something. The only difference they have is history: Ralph has been known as the bad guy by the nicelanders for years, and the sugar racers only treat Vanellope so badly is because they know nothing about her. They know who they are, their history, but her? There is nothing. Which kinda fits into their roles: Ralph's role is vital to making sure the game even works so if he's gone, the game doesn't function. Vanellope's role isn't so vital in that her exclusion doesn't make the game unplayable. Opposite issues, but in the end they find value and it defines their value to their world: Ralph is a necessary part of his world, and Vanellope can be a part of hers.

[@TMDTheMaskDirector-ye5oe]

I bet Ralph went to help Venelope (despite their very recent first encounter) when the other racers destroyed her kart because he felt bad for her, those kids were treating Venelope pretty much the exact same way the Nicelanders treat Ralph.

[@purpledragon1945]

Actually the king candy boss fight scene does add something: It establishes that people eaten by cybugs become cybugs. Which makes Calhoun's backstory all the more tragic

[@luxill0s]

that means there’s a Cybug of her fiancé and she probably had to kill it…

[@GarkKahn]

Or maybe it was because turbo was a special case I hope so, because if not then the other comment is right And probably the trauma comes from that scenario rather than the wedding

[@MelloMathTeacher]

This point was actually addressed much earlier in the film: During the Hero's Duty gameplay scene, Calhoun explains mid-game to the (human) player "Watch it, rookie, these monsters become what they eat!" Shortly afterward, we see a cybug eat Ralph's gun and then the cybug gains gun-like appendages. This actually foreshadows King Candy/Turbo's candy-colored cybug appearance, since we see during the race that he gets eaten by the cybug. Audiences that pay close attention and recall this fact realize, "oh, here it comes" after this devouring, and receive the payoff a few minutes later when the "boss fight" starts. Man, the details and forethought in this movie were just incredible.

[@pyrokatarina]

[@cajunking5987]

@@MelloMathTeacher I think that was obvious to everyone, it was the “they can turn into the PEOPLE they eat” that’s revealed

[@ruthlesslistener]

One correction: Calhoun's issue was related to PTSD flashbacks, not just general trauma (though you were right about the general trauma part). 'Dynamite gal' was a trigger for her that Felix learned to avoid, and her squad made accomidations for her at her wedding to prevent that trigger from resurfacing- which I thought was excellent, because it proves that she's not just some stone-cold badass loner, she's someone with actual fears and issues that people close to her understand and help her with. It's a really nice touch

[@redtailarts101]

I think a lot of people mistake the message as "you can't change things for yourself, just accept your position and be happy" but that wasn't what was intended. It was meant to be "don't try to change who you are, change the situation." Ralph's situation does change: the Nicelanders end up being good to him. And he changes Vanellope's situation by fixing Sugar Rush and defeating Turbo. She's still herself, and rejects her princess dress in favor of her normal outfit and being a racer. It's easy to see how the message got mixed up, but it was never meant to be "accept bad situations"

[@cintovalenzuela7710]

The message of the movie is to shut up and drive

[@thedeliveryboy1123]

This perfectly fits since at the end it shows people not trying to change themselves, but trying to change the situation for other people Vanellope is given a chance to race and, for who she is, kids love racing as her. Ralph still gets thrown from a 20-story building at the end of every game but the Nicelanders always thank him afterwards. Ralph and Felix even change the situation for Q-bert and friends by giving them a home also the only things in the movie that blatantly change themselves throughout the film are the Cybugs and Turbo and that's specifically by changing the situation (hurting other people) to take over so make that what you will

[@andreimcallister1365]

It’s actually visulized in the movie by having Ralph live in a dump. As much as he hated his position he didn’t do anything about it and became mad when everyone looked down at him for living in a dump. But at the end of the movie, he turns this around by trying to fix his home, which then becomes such a nice place that others actually want to come and live with him.

[@battybuddy]

One thing that I kind of think is underappreciated with this movie is that Felix ISN'T the typical "Hero whose a jerk" that normally comes up when the bad guy is the protagonist. Ralph REALLY has no real "Outside work" beef with Felix("He's alright as far as good guys go, I guess"), and Felix doesn't really show any disrespect towards Ralph. The nicelanders are the ones who are mean to Ralph, and Felix- at his worst, is just trying to keep that from escalating into something like... well, what happens at the party... It's easy to think that Felix and Ralph might have gotten along better all this time had the nicelanders not taken his role for granted.

Precisely. Felix, at worst, had a professional, amicable relationship with Ralph. The Nicelanders, meanwhile, saw him as nothing but a bad guy that does what he does for fun. Whether ralph has fun at his job or not, the fact still remains that it was his JOB. Just as it was Felix's job to fix everything and the Nicelanders' Job to basically be worthless, helpless losers. I have no doubt that Felix had a good long talking to with them about giving Ralph an ACTUAL chance and see him for who he REALLY is.

"You are bad guy but this does not mean you are BAD guy." I get what Zangeif was trying to do for Ralph, really...but someone should've given this message to the Nicelanders.

Fun fact: Turbo and King Candy were originally intended to be two separate characters. Turbo would've presumably had the same role he does in the final, however King Candy was only meant to be Vanellope's usurper who just wanted to prevent her from crossing the finish line so that he could retain his title as king, with him redeeming himself by the end. However I actually think the story works better with Turbo and King Candy being the same character, as King Candy was given a backstory by being Turbo and Turbo was given further character development by being King Candy.

[@PKSuperStar256]

Personally, I think that King Candy was a separate character in the final version of the story, but was probably killed by Turbo and his appearance was used as a disguise.

That's another great reason why it works so well. You combine two fully fleshed out characters instead of ripping in half one to make the twist. That way they aren't popping up evil out of seemingly nowhere.

[@masterjunko]

I think another thing that honestly shows they as still slightly being two different people, when Cybug King Candy was getting drawn to the volcano... The actual "Turbo" side kept glitching in agony trying to turn away from the light and break free while the "Cybug King" was completely in a trance. And honestly it makes his death even more satisfying; your own body betraying you and dragging you to your death, and there is *nothing* you can do about it but grovel and watch yourself ending. (Twice, really, counting the first time being him getting eaten)

[@Michae89]

I'd add to the interpretation of the movie's message one more thing. It's not just about accepting your place in the world, it's about accepting that everyone's job counts, no matter how menial or even nasty it is. Usually in movies we have some guy with a shitty job, and only way for him to get his respect is to upgrade to a more prestigious one. In this one the lesson is, that you may be a grabage man (as in working in garbage removal), but you still need to be respected, as your job is essential for everything to work properly. Not everyone can be some business hotshot (because in the world where everyone's a CEO nothing gets done in the end), but everybody's needed for something, and shouldn't be looked down upon.

There are a couple more moments that hint at King Candy being Turbo. Or at the very least not being a part of Sugar Rush 1. King Candy is the only one to recognize Ralph right away. This is because Turbo’s game was right next to Ralph’s, making them neighbors in a sense 2. Ralph makes a comment about how pink the throne room is. King Candy says it’s salmon and quickly changes the topic. This is supposed to hint that he’s not the true owner of the castle 3. When King Candy approaches Ralph with the intention to manipulate him, Ralph is (understandably) on the offensive. King Candy is actually terrified for his life. The reason for this is highlighted in the beginning of the movie. If you die outside your game, you don’t respawn. If King Candy was actually a part of Sugar Rush, he would have no reason to fear Ralph killing him because he would simply respawn

One hint at the climax I'm suprised you didn't address which I myself managed to spot, which is when King Candy realised the goo monster was Ralph, he actually seems to recognize him and mentioned his name, as if he's heard of him before while everyone else acts as if they've never seen him before, it's their first time seeing him and don't even know his name. Not only that, but when Ralph explained everything to King Candy, King Candy himself actually used the infamous term "Going Turbo" while no one else in the game ever once used it. It's clear that no one in the game has ever been outside their game before, which makes sense because of the game's daily racers gameplay part and how they race every night when the arcade is closed to set that up, but it's clear that King Candy has been outside the game before and had gotten to know the other characters and their games and their terminology. Another hint at his true nature which you probably should've pointed out.

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

Wow, you're right, I didn't even realize that, this movie really is Impeccably Perfect isn't it.

[@juniecw]

Felix also says something along the lines of “oh I forgot you guys are a new game” when he’s explaining to Calhoun what going Turbo means. So while it may be a common phrase, it’s mostly characters from older games like Ralph’s who know what the backstory is. Since King Candy knows the phrase and uses it properly when talking to Ralph it very subtly hints that he’s not originally from a newer game like Sugar Rush.

[@alexgmplays8222]

Another slight hint of his true nature is that Turbo was from a racing game and tried to take over another racing game the moment it became more popular than his own. And Sugar Rush seems to be the most popular of the kind right now.

My favorite detail is Turbo's death ended with his real face screaming in cartoonish terror before "going into the light" and the fact that he won't come back cause he died out of his own game. Sonic's advertisement in one of the earlier scenes did mention to use caution not to die out of your own game.

[@xellotath863]

My only problem with this movie is how they never really addressed the fact that Gene (the Nicelander leader) was verbally abuse to Ralph and the one who made him snap. I really wish there was an onscreen scene with Gene realizing he was wrong. But instead we got Gene blaming Ralph some more for ruining the game and then the Nicelanders accepting Ralph only shown in a montage.

[@EuroMIX2]

Gene was the real jerk, and a karma houdini.

[@robertscott1949]

King Candy's villain maniputlation scene at 16:14 was clever, but it is not unique in Disney animation. Mother Gothel in Tangled did much the same thing when she gave the Stabington Brothers the royal crown to enlist their help in her plan to regain control of Rapunzel. As for the "boss fight" at 23:30, I don't think it was weak at all. Without that fight, we would not get the chance to hear the dialog that emphasizes Ralph's willness to sacrifice himself for Vanelope. When King Candy says it is the end for both of them, Ralph says "No, just for me". Also this gives the opportunity for Ralph's emotional final recitation of the Bad-anon Pledge. The "boss fight" is very necessary. I agree this movie is a masterpiece.

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

First point, the difference is that Mother Gothel was only telling the brothers what they wanted to hear, misleading them into thinking they will actually get something that they don't even understand. Whereas King Candy tells Ralph something that he doesn't want to hear, something that makes perfect logical sense and is based in what Ralph knows is true about his world. Both are good scenes, but the King Candy one is especially well written. Second point, I do agree that the "boss fight" is good, I just think it is less important than most of the rest of the film, and the final part where Ralph defies King Candy and drops down to his supposed doom is amazing. I never said it was bad in any way, just a bit of "final battle fluff" so-to-speak, that leads to a great scene.

[@X1erra]

@@Rockotarthepurplehatguy Hahah. "Final battle fluff". I guess in retrospect when you're analyzing it "final battle" tends to be morally irrelevant. But at least in this one, it was always amazing to watch, tensions were high, the stakes were deservedly world-ending at the time (because Ralph brought a Cybug early on), and it set the stage for Ralph's sacrifice which finally completes the full circle. So it's one of the best in the movies too :)

[@queens.dee.223]

I think Ralph's willingness to sacrifice himself was necessary and of all the ways that could have been given space, the boss fight was elegant in that it gave Ralph a chance to pull at our heartstrings, and by turning the urgency up to 11 made it certain Ralph's demise would not have been avoidable through anything he could have done. And a boss fight is very much in keeping with the aesthetic of the movie.

[@theAstarrr]

@@Rockotarthepurplehatguy I'd argue that it's the "Oh sh**, I can't just make the beacon easily and finish up the third act" moment. And it feels tense - many movies have fighting scenes where they're moving so fast you can't tell what's going on (mostly live action), but this one is clear to see and understand. He has to fight Turbo and dislodge the mints at the same time, not an easy feat.

[@codaboi138]

I also wanna add that it was great for the time it came out. What I mean is, in 2013, gaming culture was really on the rise and being a 13 year old kid, seeing the film recognize the hobby, really respecting and using the subject, it really resonated with me at the time. It's a rare case of a company really striking while the iron was hot in the culture of young kids, and then having it work well.

Considering most gaming culture reference were more inclined to insult it like showing average gamers as a "discord mod" it felt weird watching this movie Like some christmas movie when an awful person has a change of heart and starts being nice to everyone for no apparent reason

[@DewMan31]

I think it's interesting that in order to obtain the Hero's Duty medal, Ralph gets rid of his armor, proving that his own abilities are what can help him achieve his goal. I think this also helps foreshadow his eventual attempt at a sacrifice, where he uses his own strength to accomplish his goal, but now with the acceptance of his role in the world.

“I am bad, not good. I will never be good, and that’s not bad. There’s no one I’d rather be than me.” I can still recite this from memory. It’s stuck with me for about 7 years, and it will stay with me for many more.

[@gabrielladieu2621]

Doesn’t the line start with “I’m bad, and that’s good”?

[@davidnissim589]

One detail you left out is that we can see Ralph's empathetic side early on in the movie, when he gives one of his cherries to Q-Bert and his friends (since they're homeless). This makes the Nicelanders' arguments against him even more unfair, since we can see that he's actually a good person, but the Nicelanders just see him as a "bad guy", which, of course, is what inspires him to go Turbo to prove that he's not. Every single detail in this movie ties together in some way, and that's why it's a masterpiece.

[@missamieholly2313]

Can I also just add I really loved that they didn't make Felix into the villain just because he was the good guy in his game? He was easily the nicest to Ralph out of all the game characters, but his problem was that he was too much of a pushover and didn't really understand Ralph's plight. Hence later on in the jail cell scene where he has an epiphany after being repeatedly mistreated and Ralph explaining to him that's his everyday life. Not only do Ralph change for the better to appreciate his position in life, but Felix also changes his outlook regarding what it means to be a good person. All in all, he was just a decent guy with flaws and not evil in any way. My lord, I shudder at how good the character arcs were in this film. They're so amazing

[@silverluigi9792]

This was a great movie review. However, about the Turbo-virus boss fight scene, I actually think it ties up Turbo nicely in the end for a few reasons: -One, it brings the two villainous forces of the movie together to show both as a threat. -Two, due to Turbo's knowledge on code, it makes sense why he would die so easily. -Three, Turbo's refusal throughout the film to refuse to accept others as they are and accept who he truly is (a someone who was important in his own game) culminates into a sci-bug as you said in the video (viruses that absorb what isn't theirs). His desire to be more than what he is lead him to be someone a virus both metaphorically and literally. First, he goes into that other racer game causing problems for it causing not just his game to be unplugged but the other one as well. Then changing Sugar Rush to his desires causing other people's lives to be ruined (like Venellope becoming a glitch and making everyone else lose their memories and become discriminatory people against Venellope). A virus is one that typically corrupts code, so in a way he was a virus before the sci-bugs. The sci-bugs just made him into what he is. -Finally, his constant meddling and non-acceptance for what he is ends up catching up with him when the new code flaw catches up to him and ends his reign of terror. Ending with him really earning his comeuppance dying with the rest of the viruses since he himself from the beginning was a virus.

Kinda a Alexander against Darius III argument, the Persian king that faced alexander was an excellent leader, tactian, and warrior. But Alexander happened to just have the right stuff to be better, and thus Darius is relegated to be the guy who lost his empire to a man leading an army of pointy sticks., a man who would end up being known as the great and have his name scrawled across history to the modern day. In this case, as stated, the final boss battle was an amazing one. but with everything else in the movie being so good as well, it made it harder for it to stand out. Grant, it certainly ain't a 1 to 1 comparison, but it's what makes sense in my head

[@theserpent8667]

The boss level is very quotable. Probably has my favourite lines to impersonate King Candy with.

I'm a grown man, 48 the end of this month. Growing up in the heyday of arcades, I was HEAVILY interested in this movie. When this movie finally came out on DVD (I'd missed the theater release), I was blown away. I can't express the joy I felt seeing characters I loved in the arcade interacting with each other, even if it was limited. Nef from Altered Beast, Dig Dug (I nearly clapped when I saw Pooka and Fygar strolling along conversing in the sounds they made in game like a couple of coworkers after a long shift), Pac Man, the ghosts... Just everything was perfect. I was a kid in the arcade again, strolling along in the dimly lit yet bright with flashing lights room, looking at new games, and watching old favorites. The story had me entranced. Then we get to the end, and a certain part nearly had me bawling like a baby (had to excuse myself when I watched it a second time with my sister and her husband). Ralph was plunging towards what he believed was his certain death, and he recites the bad anon affirmation, it hit me hard. I am a former drug addict, and at the time was still in Narcotics Anonymous, doing the 12 steps, and it reminded me so much of the Serenity Prayer. Now granted, the serenity Prayer doesn't tell us we're bad people and should just accept it lol, but it does teach us there are things we can't change about ourselves (addictive personality, weak willpower when confronted with our demons, etc.) And we have to accept and be on guard for. Drugs have cost me so much in my life, and I empathized SO MUCH with Ralph in that moment that it just tore my heart to pieces. That is why I hate hate HATE what they did to him in the sequel. That wasn't the Ralph I knew, that wasn't the Ralph who accepted who he was and was willing to sacrifice himself for his friend... That wasn't the Ralph I drew a little strength from in my darkest time. It was some abomination that had skinned Ralph and was wearing him. I stopped watching a half hour in, and went back and watched the first one as a "palate cleanser". Sorry for the length, I just wanted to explain why this movie means so much to me, and why I hate Disney now.

[@allenharper2928]

Oh, and one thing I'd like to point out... Kinda dark. It involves the Q*Bert characters. You had Q*Bert of course, Coiley the main antagonist, Slick and Sam, who changed the color of blocks they hopped on, and Ugg, who moved across the blocks on the SIDE of them, rather than the tops, kinda throwing your perspective off and making it difficult to tell when it was safe to jump. There was one character missing, though... Ugg had a counterpart that did the same as him. His name? Wrongway. Maybe when the game was unplugged he went the wrong way and got deleted?😰

[@jamesofhoenn4790]

I know it might seem like a jumbled mess to the random passer-by, but Wreck-It-Ralph is such a spectacular movie. I could practically recite it by heart from watching it so much, and yet I still find small details upon revisiting, and I still adore the characters and their abilities interactions with eachother… … it’s such a shame that the sequel decided to toss it all aside and turn it into something that just blends in with the rest of Modern Disney’s works.

[@rachelthornton4442]

Something I will say in favor of the boss fight, even though I agree that it's the weakest part, I love how in a movie about video games, there's a boss battle. And it's set up exactly how you'd expect a video game boss battle to look. An enclosed arena space, a villain with an updated and more powerful form, an amalgam of everything the hero has faced before; you can tell that this movie was made by people who love video games.

1st Wreck it film: a great novel idea, with several cool ideas including: -Arcade games are alive and can travel between each other, meaning Sonic and Doom guy could be best bros etc. -That the villains of games are not actual bad guys but actors simply playing the part. -That a villain wants to be a good guy instead, but must learn to accept his role. -That viruses can destroy the game, but so can other characters if they stay in another arcade. And a nice timeless feel, people like Sonic and Doom guy etc mixed with older characters and games like just dance, so it could be from 2016 or now, or from the 90's, who knows. 2nd: extremely dated promoting ads and products disney burchering.

Calhoun and Felix were so unnecessarily cute, I love it

[@wkoya4803]

I will say that Sugar Rush as a game isn't capable of sustaining itself. Racers need a medal to participate in a race yet you need to get first in a race to get a medal. This brings the idea that 9 or so (dunno the number of players that take part in a race) medals are put into the race for 1 character to get back, which isn't nearly enough for a large number of racers to always take part in a race. Then comes the skill set, every character is going to get a medal eventually, but when the player doesn't control a character it's clear that some racers will not only be more skilled than others but some will also have better karts. So half of the racers will only get a medal if they are chosen by the player. Emphasize the "if". There is a big likelihood that only 3 or so racers will ever be chosen by players, especially if kart stats are a thing when choosing who you play as.

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

It's entirely possible (and you can argue it's even very subtly hinted) that the pay-coins-to-play system was just something Turbo came up with to prevent Vanellope from participating, since she wasn't playable and thus could never earn coins on her own.

The racers pay with coins, not medals. The game only interpreted Ralph's medal as a coin because it's the same shape and material. The coins are won from the races throughout the day before they race for the roster. By not allowing Vanellope the ability to race she has zero coins. Also, only first place gets a coin. I'd be willing at least the top 4 get them based on placement each race.

Something I heard recently was that King Candy's name is generic compared to the other Sugar Rush racers, also pointing to him being an outsider, and it just goes to show how much thought was put into this film.

I’ve actually always liked the bossfight because it shows how much turbo has manipulated the code and changed himself to stay active. By the end he’s this bug mutant monstrosity with the face of a character he completely made up just to stay in power, a place ralph may have gone if he continued down the “must not be wreck it ralph” path. It also causes some great comeuppance.

[@elliottpak]

I especially liked how turbo said “Welcome to the boss level!” It’s like as if he’s so desperate to make himself look grandiose and amazing that he doesn’t care if he needs to become a game entity whose purpose in the game is to be defeated by the player as long as he can be relevant. (Okay I was probably overanalyzing lol)

“Felix makes his biggest mistake yet: Complimenting a woman.” I’M ROLLING!!! 🤣

[@SonicGamerGirl2006]

It made me laugh, but to be fair, it makes sense. Felix unintentionally and unknowingly triggered Calhoun. "Dynamite gal" is likely one of Calhoun's triggers, a common case of PTSD. Also, notice how Felix avoids using this nickname when she's around. He has likely learned to avoid using it, knowing that "dynamite gal" triggers all those painful memories of when Calhoun's fiance was killed on her wedding day of all times.

[@civetmink9060]

Also the reason king candy being Turbo works is because he was already a villain. It only makes him more compelling unlike other twists which might as well replace the good guy with a villain.

10 years later, and this is still an awesome movie! I already have nostalgia for it!

It gave me a little bit of “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” Vibes! This movie should’ve won best animated feature, not that Pixar abomination movie called Brave! :/ And let’s not talk about that awful sequel, it doesn’t exist! It should’ve been about online gaming, and at least have Mario show some appearances, something Saturo Iwata actually wanted! But nooooo… 🙄 instead we got a sequel where we have to acknowledge products, and decided bastardize Ralph, and Venelope’s character arcs, and made them horrible friends in ways that don’t make compared to how they acted in the first movie! It literally pretends that the events and rules of the first movie doesn’t exist! That scrapped sequel idea shouldn’t have been tossed away in the trash just to make a sequel that just ruins everything similar to some of Disney’s Direct To Home Video Sequels! What a missed potential!😞 I used to like it, but after watching only few minutes of Schaffrillas Productions “Why Ralph Breaks The Internet Is A Cinematic Disaster” video, now I hate that sequel! Anyway, *Happy 10th Anniversary of Wreck It Ralph! :D ^^*

So you’ve mindlessly agreed with what Schaff said in his video, changed your opinions because of that, and copied everything he said without even forming your own opinion? Wow, and I thought humanity was smarter than that. Also your whole “it doesn’t exist” statement also further proves my point. It’s ok to hate something, but to childishly act like it doesn’t exist or to try and convince others it doesn’t exist, that is wrong on so many levels, as well as mindlessly agreeing with a critic/reviewer without even actually having your own personal opinions on it.

[@Sorcerer-SMC]

Not really, cause there were still some good Disney movies after the first Wreck It Ralph movie. Frozen, I do agree is overrated, but it’s still charming in its own way, and In Summer was pretty much my only favorite song from the movie aside from Kristoff’s “Reindeer are Better than People” Big Hero 6 may have some flaws like how the twist villain was handled, but overall it’s still a pretty great and epic film. Zootopia is such a great movie, and it’s one of the few movies that actually tackles and handles racism in the best way possible without being too preachy or annoying about it. Moana was also an amazing film, and THIS was the TRUE end of an era for Disney, not Wreck It Ralph. The Renaissance Revival began with Princess and the Frog and ended with Moana.

[@frozenwishstudios]

King Candy is the standout of the film imo. My favorite scene in the whole film was when King Candy was revealed to be Turbo during the final race and then abused Vanellope. I also found foreshadows to King Candy being the main antagonist of the film on my recent viewing of the film. For example, we saw King Candy in the control room and then the camera shows Vanellope's profile wire is actually cut and moved far away which shows King Candy is up to no good.

[@fluffcake]

This movie is so masterfully told and also carefully planned and written. It’s beautiful and doesn’t force it’s video game references so obviously, it embraces that it’s set in a very video game and treats it with respect as establishing rules and other important things.

something you forgot to mention about the bully scene with venelope and the other racers, ralph only acts up when venelope is thrown in the mud by the racers, something the nicelanders have done to him both metaphorically and physically many times. seeing venelope get treated like some kind of outcast then literally thrown in the mud just like he was causes him to relate a lot to her, and scare off the racers bullying her. other than that, i agree with a lot of the stuff you've said in the video, wreck it ralph is one of my favorite movies and i'm glad i'm not the only one that can appreciate how genuinely great this movie is

17:50 one of my favorite things in this scene is that it needed to have happened not only because it leads to ralph figuring that venelopy was more important but it needed to have happened so ralph would complete his arc not only did he fall farther then he ever thought was possible allowing him to climb back up but also he needed to have come back to realise that the game was shutting down and that HE is more important the he knew that he has value. disney really dodged a cliche by not only making the separation 3rd act climax have reason but also something important to the character arc which is just genius

I really can’t believe this movie’s almost ten years old. I love it so much. Not only does it incorporate references excellently, but all of the cameos actually matter (especially Sonic first explaining what Going Turbo is!) and the plot and characters very much align with the setting! It’s my favorite video game movie. I just pretend the sequel doesn’t exist because not only did it have plot holes (like Ralph sneaking into Sugar Rush during arcade hours and the whereabouts of the virus after it had created the Ralph virus. I bet the virus fell into the plot hole!) and derail the characters we’ve come to know and love, but it tried to take a preemptive victory over Spiderverse before the Oscars by having OSCAR WINNER on its DVD stickers! Still gives me a chuckle to this day.

[@Rocketknightgeek]

One super subtle touch is that Vanellope's cart can justify the otherwise ludicrous notion that she could catch up from a 2 minute deficit. Being made by Ralph, a character who breaks anything he touches, it's broken as well. It even has a paintjob that mimics misaligned textures common in glitched 'custom' vehicles that have gamebreaking stats.

[@tyeferiodusted5304]

This has been my comfort movie for years and I think your analysis finally solved the puzzle of why. Acceptance is a message I'm still learning. I see myself in a lot of the characters. The cast is fun! Overall this movie has a special piece in my heart which is why it was so devastating to me when the sequel did not line up with it at all. Any development we got was basically thrown out for a worse version of the Emoji Movie.

[@rosykindbunny1313]

This movie is so nostalgic to me. Every week my dad and I would go to a cheese shop, get a cheese plate (and a yacht club orange soda for me while I wait, which was the first soda I ever tried), play the Wreck It Ralph app on my dad's phone during the wait, and have a picnic in the living room with my brother and my mom. We would watch a movie, which most of the time would be Wreck It Ralph. The place shut down after a year of this tradition, and we still miss it. Although I do have one tiny, petty critique. The Portal reference. They mispronounced GLaDOS' name, and the context of the reference doesn't even make sense. I didn't even realize it was a reference until someone mentioned it on the internet.

[@Rockotarthepurplehatguy]

@@Rockotarthepurplehatguy I recommend seeing it for yourself. It's when they're sneaking into the kart factory. Ralph says, "I don't make things, I break things."

It may seem hard to believe it was a reference, because the subtitles spell it Gladys, but Valve confirmed it was supposed to be a reference.

[@Orange_Tree_]

I, personally, think the final bossfight actually serves to tie both plotlines together. Just like Calhoun is haunted by cybugs through code of her memories, pushing away anybody she cares about, and actively distressed by cybugs currently being a threat to the entire arcade, Ralph on his side is passively pressured into role of a "bad guy", because simply mentioning that it tires him has everyone suspect him "going Turbo", while Turbo also actively decepts him into pushing Vanellope away. In the end, their combination becomes greater threat than simple sum of it's parts. Starting with cybugs, they are outright presented to us as different from other game characters piece of code, they are borderline harmful software because of, I guess, their high spawnrates on top of being not just static props, like crowds of candy-spectators in Sugar Rush, but fully-rendered high-poligonal particle heavy animated models, that can interact with other characters and the player. There's no doubt, that such a massive amount of physical entities likely pushes whatever system Hero's Duty is running on to it's absolute limit, but since Hero's Duty has a killswitch for all cybugs processes in form of a beacon, no problems occure in it. That's where "Wreck-it Ralph"'s unique setting of characters being able to enter completely alien code comes in, because a cybug is practically "going Turbo". With a bit of assistance, mind you, but what matters is that now part of it's code is missing, the loop is broken, the cybug multiplies without anything stopping it, more, and more, and more. I assume this refers to a process known as a "memory leak", when a program suddenly starts to "consume" more memory than it should, because part of it's code isn't "cleaned" properly, what can turn into a giant problem, if program executes many times over, "spawning" more of problematic memory sectors. But however big of a problem cybugs might be, they still fail to divert our attention from massive block of code Turbo takes up. If cybugs are "like a virus", Turbo simply is a virus, a malicious software that alters files on the device it has infected without ensuring their integrity or asking for user's consent. In flashback of his backstory we can see, that Turbo had gone to Roadblasters with his original code and appearance, and during face off with Vanellope her glitches reveal, that he is still the same 8-bit Turbo, not some sort of electronic wannabe or rewritten code. Over the years Turbo has learned to disguise himself, he upgraded into more complex systems, he has learned how to alter his own code, what we can see for ourselves when he places code for the medal into block of his own. This massive part of it in Sugar Rush's system was made by him and only by him, and we can't really say through how many different games Turbo has gone by this point... But we can certainly see the tricks he has learned, when cybug that ate him instead ends up being consumed by Turbo. Before this point, even though Turbo was capable of rewriting code, he couldn't yet affect hardware, because otherwise he would have completely deleted Vanellope from Sugar Rush. With all of his knowledge in programing there's no way Turbo couldn't simply disregard an actor with hardcoded (refers to parts of program embedded into source code and not affected by external sources) trigger of restoring the game to it's original state. But the thing about deleting files is that they aren't actually deleted, device simply marks the space where "deleted" files are located as free-to-write over, but without anything new introduced on the storage unit, "deleted" files can still be restored and may sometimes affect rest of the system. And that is exactly what we see with Sugar Rush: Turbo "deletes" Vanellope, marking her as empty space in memory and altering any links connected to her, but hardcoded trigger pulls up her memory cell and successfully starts system reset, because Vanellope's data was still intact. None of this would have happened, if Turbo originally had access to any sort of tool, that could allow him writing into game's source code... like, a memory leak. Having consumed cybug Turbo has become "the most powerful virus in the arcade", now capable of everything what prevented him from integrating into Roadblasters or deleting Vanellope before. Now, if he is allowed to live, arcade won't simply be overrun by cybugs, but rather all machines can end up infected by Turbo. Bug-Turbo represents everything the characters fear: an intelligent cybug, who has a concious intention of spreading over arcade without any regard for lives of others; a bad guy, who isn't afraid of being misunderstood, because there's no misunderstanding, only worst possible intentions. While Ralph speaks about "wanting more out of life", Turbo takes it without asking; while Calhoun counts on having advantage over cybugs by understanding she is in game, Turbo knows how to cheat in it. His death was supposed to be a conclusion to inner turmoils of Calhoun and Ralph, a symbolic resolution to their inner conflicts. Calhoun hasn't just dealt with rampaging cybugs, but also realised she isn't the only hope of arcade against them, forced to hunt cybugs down alone gun in hand. While she blames Ralph for dooming Sugar Rush, seeing him activate pop volcano shows Calhoun, that she is not alone and can have some faith in others, so she can begin to heal and allows herself to marry Felix. On the other hand, with Turbo's story finished Ralph can open up to other people about dissatisfaction of always loosing without being blamed of wanting to take somebody's place, and other characters start to understand him better. It all seems nice and without a doubt a great happy ending... but then you return to the Turbo. As it is mentioned many times throughout the movie, characters in this world only respawn when inside their own program, what makes Ralph's sacrifice so heavy to watch. But even though Turbo was supposed to die when cybug ate him, even though there could be no way for him to survive, he still managed to return without seemingly any explanation, what makes final bossfight scene feel weak first time around... until you realise what it implies. Everybody thought Turbo was gone, when Roadblasters were removed - yet, he managed to escape. When cybug ate him, he should have died outside his game and denied respawn - yet he took control over the cybug. Flying face first into boiling pop must have fried him and finished the story - yet... how are we sure that it did? Like, ok'ay, Turbo couldn't survive lava shower, still, if he adopted cybug's part of code that forces him to "go in the light", what stopped him from taking another part of cybug's code - it's rampant reproduction? It wasn't quite long between him taking over the bug and perishing in pop, but more than long enough to leave at least a single spawn. And then, in sequel, aware of this original weakness of a cybug, Successor-Turbo could easily get rid of it and once again become a threat. Except this time not just to a single arcade, but to the entire Internet, become a Morris Worm of smartphone age! ... But we got "Ralph breaks the Internet" instead.

I love literally everything about this film, but something I *really* love about it is the fact that they don’t devalue platonic or romantic relationships in the movie. Ralph and Venelope’s friendship is incredibly meaningful and incredibly important to the film, but Felix and Calhoun have a very sweet, wholesome love story about learning to accept loss, move on, and let people in. They simultaneously show platonic and romantic relationships as incredibly important, great things that are very fulfilling to have
